TABUK CITY, Kalinga – The Lower Kalinga District Engineering Office (LKDEO) presented their initial plans to modify the rotunda in Bulanao during the Kapehan meeting today, Jan. 9, 2023.
LKDEO District Engineer Ruby Uyam explained the proposed Roundabout with Apron involves resizing the rotunda. Its new diameter will be 20 meters and its height from the apron will be 0.2 meters.
Meanwhile, the apron, which will be made from paver blocks, will measure 3.10 meters in width and 0.20 meters in height.
Uyam said they will aim to finish the project in time for the 4th Bodong Festival and 28th Kalinga Founding Anniversary celebration in February as requested by Congress Representative Allen Jesse Mangaoang.
Aside from the improvements on the rotunda, the LKDEO is set to widen the Bulanao-Paracelis Road (along Harriett) with the addition of two lanes including curb, gutter, and sidewalks.
Additionally, the agency plans to change the design of the island along the said road.
